Callebaut is one of the few gourmet chocolate makers to craft its chocolate from bean to chocolate in Belgium. We still apply the traditional whole bean roasting technique and some of the original iconic recipes our founder Octaaf Callebaut created over 100 years ago. We love to support chocolate artisans, gourmet chefs and culinary professionals all over the world with chocolates that delights wi
th great taste – and that helps to achieve perfect results, day after day. SUPPORTING COCOA FARMERS
Since 2012, Callebaut’s entire basic chocolate range supports sustainable cocoa cultivation. Callebaut was the first brand to partner up with the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, which intends to safeguard the future of cocoa plantations by helping improve cocoa bean quality and cultivation, and ensuring a fair income for participating cocoa cooperatives, which represent more than 26,000 small-scale farmers.
